Artillery Get Some
Happy Pi Day to all! Seems American artillery just keeps getting better and better. Most recently? Talk about an unusual kill… 3rd Battalion, 27th Field Artillery, 18th Field Artillery Brigade – sank a submarine. U.S. forces have struck with Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) short-range ballistic missiles. ATACMS cannot hit moving targets, so the […]
New Grenades
The Army has officially adopted the M111 (and it’s practice counterpart the M112). May not sound terribly significant, but they are the first lethal hand grenades adopted since 1968. As many know, our standard M67 grenade works pretty well as a fragmentation grenade. Pull the pin, four-ish seconds later it goes ‘splodey, and sends out […]

So for Valor Friday this week, I’ve got the story of Jack Jacobs. He’s […]
Army shoots down eebul drone, and Texas Dem
With all the talk about the hundreds of cartel drones supposedly crossing our border (note the incident last week) it is no surprise that the Army took out another one today. Let’s ignore the fact that the last publicized incident turned out to be a mylar party balloon. Thursday, the Army took out a suspected […]
Medal of Honor awarded at the SOTU
Last night, if you didn’t watch the President’s State of the Union Address you missed the presentation of a Medal of Honor. I didn’t watch the SOTU. I didn’t want to watch the Democrat pout-fest. It seems Congressman Green (D-Retard) was escorted out again for being indecorous. As part of the political theater that is […]
Valor Friday
Some good news. Master Sergeant Rodrick “Roddie” Edmonds will be receiving a posthumous Medal of Honor for his heroism in the face of the Nazis. It’s been almost five years since I wrote up the story of Edmonds. Click through for the full story, but I’ll try to summarize. Edmonds quickly rose the ranks, and […]
